Dear friends in birth,
 
Thank you for all of your wonderful feedback about my new doula book.  It is exciting for me to see it on the shelves after three years of work and so much input and support from all of you.  The economy is hurting the book industry though -- would you please continue to help spread the word about my book?  If you have not read it yet, please consider doing so now! 
 
And in particular, if you could forward this email to your currently pregnant friends or birth clients today, I would truly appreciate it.
